While various aspects of suicide have been studied, there are few studies of particular modes of treatment. A unique opportunity to investigate electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) arose in two rural areas in Ireland. In one town, ECT is not used and there were no reports of suicide. In contrast, in an neighboring area where ECT is used, 30 cases of suicide were recorded from 1980 to 1989. These 30 cases of suicide and the influence of ECT and benzodiazepines are the subject of this study. We concluded that the rationale behind maintenance benzodiazepines in suicidal patients is questionable and that the efficacy of ECT in the prevention of suicide is doubtful.
虽然对自杀的各个方面都进行了研究，但针对特定治疗方式的研究却很少。在爱尔兰的两个农村地区出现了一个研究电休克疗法（ECT）的独特机会。在一个城镇，不使用ECT，也没有自杀报告。相比之下，在邻近的一个使用ECT的地区，1980年至1989年记录了30例自杀事件。这30例自杀事件以及ECT和苯二氮䓬类药物的影响是本研究的主题。我们得出结论，在自杀患者中使用维持性苯二氮䓬类药物的基本原理值得怀疑，ECT预防自杀的疗效也值得怀疑。
